History

In 1868, the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor built St Francis' Church in 1868. The church was designed by Gilbert Blount and rebuilt by Pugin & Pugin, an architectural firm of the brothers Cuthbert Welby Pugin and Peter Paul Pugin from 1877 to 1878. It is a Gothic Revival church and a category A listed building.[2] When the church was built it received a reliquary of the forearm of St Valentine from a French Catholic family.[3][4]

In 1975, building work on Blessed John Duns Scotus Church was completed.[5] It was built on the site of St Luke's Church.[6] At the time, there were four Catholic churches in Gorbals. Eventually, after a massive construction project in the area, the other churches were closed and it became the only one remaining. In 1993, the remains of St Valentine were moved to Blessed John Duns Scotus Church.[7] The remains were kept in a cardboard box on top of a wardrobe. In 1999, one year after the closure of St Francis' Church, the remains were rediscovered and put in the church in a box labelled "Corpus Valentini Martyris".[8]

In 2005, there was a fire in Blessed John Duns Scotus Church. Repair work was done and on 9 September 2010, the church was reopened with a Mass celebrated by the Archbishop of Glasgow, Mario Conti.[9]
